M1x8 Magneto-Optical Switch

M1x8 Magneto-Optical Switch

The M1x8 optical switch operates by either connecting or blocking optical signals to achieve optical path switching. This switch features a non-mechanical configuration and is activated by an electrical control signal. Additionally, the switch integrates a built-in circulator and isolator functionality. It is widely used in aerospace and military equipment.

Product features：Solid-state, high-speed operation、 High stability and reliability、 No epoxy resin in the optical path、 Fault-safe locking mechanism

Part Number：MP-OSW-1550-US100-18-M

Application area：Aerospace equipment、 Configurable add/drop functionality、 System monitoring、 Sensing systems
